yeah I reckon it might be

and honestly i am just sitting here with my heart in my throat like. none of our current art is truly permanent, is it. we like to think that we have better documentation and archiving technology than generations past but all it really takes is for one megacompany to slap some copyright tape over its comic book villain safe and then toss that safe in the ocean for all it’s worth. youtube could potentially choose to do the same and simply wipe its entire site clean overnight. adobe decided to throw flash in the garbage and decades worth of internet content just…. disappeared from reach. i am begging every digital creator out there to backup your content to as many outlets as you possibly can. use different cloud services that aren’t owned by one company. use physical usb drives and hard drives. if programs you used to open your work become obsolete at least document what it was so it can be passed on and remembered by people who want to. jesus christ i need a drink

i haven’t personally tried out there brand but if any of you have please let us know how it is!

While it is possible to have a material that is recyclable as well as biodegradable and even compostable (able to be degraded under realistic composting conditions), the majority of “plant-based” leathers fall into a category which is neither – they are mixtures of plastics (typically polyurethanes) and natural materials. One particular example we highlighted was the example of Desserto, a material which we uncovered (based on its listing on a material database that has since promptly been deleted) was mostly polyurethane, with only a small amount of natural material mixed in.  

Humans normally don’t kill animals for the leather ( for FUR yes but that’s different.) the process from making raw leather into usable leather is long, dirty and stinky and trust me a LOT of otherwise very good quality leather is thrown away nowadays because the big companies want you to pay a LOT for their leather bags and car interiors while plastic is cheap as fuck (and because the big countries don’t like competition of little countries so they just kill the little country’s leather industry by buying up the factories running them for two-three years (or whatever is in the contract) then closing them forever and making sure nobody gets to put their hands on it)) I am all for protecting animals but the leather industry has been fucked up and over and done dirty instead of being taken care of and innovated so the leather wouldn’t go into the trash but instead put to good use, creating everyday items and luxury items that can be used by multiply generations of people. We have reached the time that nobody, NOBODY should pay for anything made of plastic instead of real materials if they can. Especially not luxury products.

the dog: I’m at work! I’m doing so good at being at work! I’m barking because my handler gave the sign ‘bark’! I am going to get such a good grade in being a dog actor, which is completely possible to achieve, and normal to want! I am doing a great job! I am proud of myself for doing such a great job! I love this, because I’d make it physically impossible to get anything done if I wasn’t enjoying it! I’m barking!

His name was Jed, and even though he’s a dog, he deserves an oscar. He was an exceptionally good boy.
